use strict use warnings Will help you to save most of debug time.
And. perhaps you still have option C. Thaz, if you need some quick test, you can make the form data becomes uri escaped. or boundary based. So you can test it inline. with warn, and die. you will really what error is happened at which line. But that's a side effect. You can't use CGI.pm to handle this sort of data, unless you know how to make the escaped string becomes STDIN.

Pls direct me to the appropriate mailing list if this is not the correct mailing list for this question. So, here is the scenario: Basically, I have to create a secure web site functional from most browsers that is written in perl+cgi+php+mysql(for various fcunctionalities like accessing database etc). How do I debug a web application that uses Perl, CGI, PHP, HTML, Apache+ SSL? There are mainly two ways that I could found and atleast one of them is not very efficient and the second one I am not sure about. (a)First solution is to use: use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); I am not very comfortable with this solution. (b)The second solution is to use a perl debugger called ptkdb. I am not sure how much useful is this ptkdb in debugging a web appplication. I have not used any of these solutions. It is a big application and would probably need lot of debugging. Here are my questions to gurus: (1) Am I correct that anyone of these approaches can be used to debug web application (2) Which of these is a better approach to debug web application keeping in mind that it is a huge application and would need lot of debugging. (3) Can anyone suggest me anything else which is better than the two approaches listed above. (4) Can anyone tell me what are the pros and cons of using the two approaches. I greatly appreciate all the help. thx, Saurabh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
